Does anyone know the success rate of refugee claimants? You hear about some of the ones that get rejected but I have never heard what the acceptance rate is.
On a side note, I don't think that oil comes from dead dinosaurs.

Actually, refugee claimants (big difference between a deemed refugee) are given open work permits so they can work. The success rate for refugee claimants depends on the country that they are making the claim against. Claimants from countries like Mexico have a success rate of like 12-18%. From countries like Somalia 80-90%.
Here is a graph from CBC. Scroll down a bit and it will compare some countries.

Here is a list of source countries. Notice how the refugee claims all dried up once the VISA was posted on Mexico.
